Rudi will be speaking over a live Internet stream organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust and beamed into schools up and down the country.

The webcast is being streamed to more than 300 schools across the country, reaching at least 30,000 students.

The Daily Mirror is also hosting the stream from 10am-11am on Wednesday and viewers have the unique chance to ask him questions via Twitter, just as if he was there in your front room.

On 10th April 1945 Rudi and his brother Paul left on the last train to leave Bergen-Belsen. After travelling for 14 days they awoke on the train to find that the SS guards had gone and recognised soldiers from the Red Army and realised that they had been liberated.

With the help of the Soviets, they managed to get to Leipzig, where they were reunited with their sister Eve - she had been on the same train as them but in a different section.

The Oppenheimer siblings had an uncle and aunt in London, so they came to Britain after the war.

In 1945 British troops entered the German concentration camp and the horrified soldiers found piles of dead and rotting corpses and thousands of sick and starving prisoners kept in severely overcrowded and dirty compounds.
